What have you done to your car today......
Discussion
Hope so.
I heard mine is now running much, much better now and is almost done but for that side light issue, the MOT and caliper painting. He had spare Gaz Gold shocks to replace my knackereds which will get me back on the road for this summer.
Chassis looks pretty s
t with the car up in the air so probably going to just plaster it in waxoyl for now and dismantle the car in winter for the proper refurbishment. I'll get some Nitrons or Ohlins dampers then too, and I'll rebush the rear suspension. Sod it, everything else the last mechanic touched is cack so I'll rebush the fronts too so I know they're right. At least I have a press...
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for that rubber seal below the windscreen? Mine is lifting at the ends and looks crap. I need a windscreen too as it's delaminating slightly but enough for me to see it and therefore it's wrong/annoying.

The rubber is this one: http://www.clever-trevor.net/TVR/Parts_details/V01...Windscreen is pricey: early models: http://www.clever-trevor.net/TVR/Parts_details/U08...
later models: http://www.clever-trevor.net/TVR/Parts_details/U23...
Just measure the width of the black band to decide which one.

Hope it all gets good for you soon, Mr C.
Thanks both, most heartfelt.I have, in fact, given up waiting on the wonders of modern medical science, adjusted the clutch somewhat bizzarely, hacked a ski boot to death and B.B. and I have just been out for a superb sunny (if somewhat delicate) drive !
Yeeeee-efffing-Haaaaa !!!

Thanks! How's the rubber secured? Glued on with sikaflex like the rest of the car?
If you can't get a cable tie round it, then it must be sikaflex... 
Is this the right stuff?

That will probably work. There are a lot of different Sikaflex products btw.
There is a groove in the plastic below the windscreen into which the seal lip is pushed so you don't need masses of sealant to hold it in place. Just make sure you clean out the groove properly which I didn't the first time and left the seal undulating across the car.
Top tip: if sealant spreads out on to the windscreen when you press the seal down, don't be tempted to try and wipe it off until cured. It spreads everywhere. Let it cure then a sharp knife along the edge of the seal and pull the excess off.
